Yay for Fall!

We decided to go pick out some pumpkins to do a little craft project. So we went to our little neighborhood pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkins. Oh, and it's more fun sometimes to have company to join in on our fun so we invited Janie and Cade!

and the sweet lady at the pumpkin patch offered to take all of our picture!

Let the painting begin!

We all had so much fun.... Will, finished super fast and the Wii sounded a little more fun to him. Oh well, he participated for a little bit.

Here are the final products! My children are quite the artists! haha

For the Love of the Game!

Our lives have been consumed with baseball for the last 5 weeks and we have a few to go. If you ask Kate what have you been doing she will say, "during the week we go to school and on the weekends we play baseball."  Will has really improved in the last two seasons, but it is this season that he has become a baseball player.  Learning the skills of the game and knowing the feeling of winning and defeat have all come in to play this season. He loves the game of baseball and he desires to be good. He loves to practice and play catch with his dad, and he believes his daddy is ablsolutely the best at everything so what he says, is as if God is speaking, so it is the absolute truth. Or so Will thinks. haha. And Will is convinced that I really don't know what I am talking about when it comes to any sport. That's okay, because I remember feeling the same way about my mom too. Sorry mom.  As a mama it brought me to tears when we put him in his uniform and saw how grown up he looked. (I'm pretty sure Josh had a tear in his eye also but whose to say) When I found out I was pregnant with a boy my mind automatically flashed forward to this day of going and watching him play baseball. I love to watch him play. Not because he is so good ( but he is!) but because he is MY boy and I am just so proud to be his mama. And yes, I will be THAT mom who wears a button with her kids face on it! And Yes, we are the family that ALL wear Rangers t-shirts with our teams roster on the back to every game!(who knew) Love every minute of it!
